What happens when parity memory detects an error?
A parity error always causes the system to halt.
When parity memory detects errors what happens?
A parity error always causes the system to halt.
A problem with parity error indicates a problem with?
Parity error indicates bad memory. Parity checks compare the memory read with what was writen.
When parity detects an error what happens?
A parity error always causes the system to hault. On the screen, you see the error message parity error 1 (parity error on the motherboard) or parity error 2 (parity error on an expansion card)
What can occur in older SIMMs and only happens when a module's parity information doesn't match information in memory?
Parity Error
How are parity errors in memory detected?
Parity errors in memory are detected using a simple error-checking mechanism that involves an additional bit known as the parity bit. This bit is added to a group of bits (like a byte) to ensure that the total number of 1s is either even (even parity) or odd (odd parity). When data is read from memory, the system recalculates the parity and compares it to the stored parity bit; if there's a mismatch, a parity error is flagged, indicating that the data may be corrupted.
What is parity interrupt?
There is no parity interrupt on the 8085 or 8086/8088. If you mean a memory parity interrupt, that is a function of system design, not a function of the particular microprocessor involved. Generally, a memory parity error is fatal, so one would typically place it on a non-maskable interrupt, such as TRAP on the 8085, or INT 2 (NMI) on the 8086/8088. This assumes, of course, that the memory parity error does not just crash the processor.
What causes parity error?
The main causes of parity error are magnetic or electrostatic conditions. This will result mainly into corruption of the computer memory chips.
What is the difference between parity and non-parity memory?
Non-parity memory is memory without parity. Parity memory is memory with extra bits, sometimes one, sometimes more, that accompany the word. These extra parity bits are generated to a known value, typically to make the total number of bits on that word even or odd. When the word is retrieved, the parity bits are compared against what they should be. If they are different, then one or more of the bits in the original word or in the parity bits must have changed. This is an error condition that can be trapped. In a multiple parity bit system, the calculation of the bits allows not only for the detection of a changed bit, but also for the identification of which bit changed. This is known as ECC parity, or Error-Correcting-Code. Often, you can detect and correct any one bit error, and you can detect, but not correct, any two bit error. Since random bits changes are rare, those that do occur are usually one bit errors, making ECC parity valuable for high reliability systems such as servers.
Can you mix and match ECC and non-parity modules?
No. When adding new memory, you need to match what is already in your system. Parity modules have an extra chip that detects if data was correctly read or written by the memory module, depending on the type of error. However, a parity module will not correct the erro
What error occurs if the number of bits is not an odd number for odd parity or an even parity?
parity error
What do you mean by single bit error correction?
A special system of multiple parity bits (e.g. Hamming parity) that allows not only error detection but limited error correction.Ordinary single bit parity can detect reliably single bit errors.Hamming parity can correct single bit errors and detect reliably double bit errors.
